DoubtEdge wants your backtest to fail
DoubtEdge is an in-development tool for checking TradingView strategy exports with tests aimed at exposing overfitting, faulty settings, and weak results.
- For
- Systematic traders using TradingView strategies
- Worth noticing
- The proposed placebo test compares a filter against 500 random filters blocking the same share of trades.
Field notes
The described workflow begins with TradingView strategy exports containing trades and properties, then locks success criteria before examining results. Its checks include settings audits, placebo comparisons, parameter plateaus, walk-forward tests, profit concentration, and costs. The page says deterministic Python checks produce the numbers and Claude explains them. A sample report is explicitly labeled illustrative, and the site says the tool remains in development.
